THE PLAYBOOK · FJHONGZHI

Find your footing in Spider Solitaire

Take a moment with Spider Solitaire before moving to another game. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.

A focus for your next round

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.

The objective of a round

Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.

Start here and follow along

  1. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

The controls to know

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

Where a round can go wrong

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
